Ascending aortic curvature as an independent risk factor for aortic dissection: the mathematical model and underlying equations.
As biomedical engineers with an interest in cardiovascular haemodynamics, we carefully read the study by Poullis et al. [1]. The published article describes a mathematical model of the effects of aortic curvature, aortic diameter and systolic blood pressure on the resultant force on the aortic wall. We find the model to be informative and useful, but we are unable to replicate two of the graphs...
متن کاملSpinal manipulative therapy is an independent risk factor for vertebral artery dissection.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is an independent risk factor for cervical artery dissection. METHODS Using a nested case-control design, the authors reviewed all patients under age 60 with cervical arterial dissection (n = 151) and ischemic stroke or TIA from between 1995 and 2000 at two academic stroke centers. Controls (n = 306) were selected to match cases...
متن کاملIs corneal thickness an independent risk factor for glaucoma?
c p t n i e a d m C i d The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) showed that central corneal thickness (CCT) was a significant predictor of which patients with ocular hypertension are at higher risk for converting to glaucoma. Eyes with CCT of 555 m or less had a 3-fold greater risk of developing glaucoma compared with eyes that had CCT of more than 588 m. In a multivariable model includi...
متن کاملGastric reflux is an independent risk factor for laryngopharyngeal carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Gastric reflux can reach into the upper airway, inducing cellular damage in the epithelial lining. This condition is believed to be a risk factor for development of laryngopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LPSCC), although the literature is conflicting. METHODS To better clarify this relationship, we assessed the association of self-reported heartburn history and medication use a...
متن کاملHypoadiponectinemia is an independent risk factor for hypertension.
Adiponectin is one of the key molecules in the metabolic syndrome, and its concentration is decreased in obesity, type-2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease. Genetic investigation has revealed that 2 polymorphisms (I164T and G276T) are related to adiponectin concentration and diabetes. To examine whether adiponectin affects hypertension genetically or biologically, we performed a case-control...
